Redox Laboratories: Abridging the Pharma Skill Gap with a Pinch of Patriotism

Commitment, passion and a pinch of patriotism are all that is needed to serve the country. In the words of P. Durga Prasad, Founder & Managing Director, Redox Laboratories, We do not need to be a politician to serve our country. It is better we take the skilling activities where we can do business and serve the nation alongside. And yes, Durga is precisely walking his talk through his company Redox Laboratories a Pharma Finishing School that bridges the gap between academics and industry. Born to create sustainable successful life especially for SC/ST/BC/Minorities and economically backward students, the company is the only organization in India that provides skill training (everything technical) in Pharma Manufacturing.

Demystifying the Chicken & Egg Problem
While it is a chicken and egg problem, where pharma companies are looking for ready to deploy skilled manpower for their manufacturing units across the country but at the entry level pay scale, unemployed youths are looking for first time placement as soon as they are out of their colleges. Redox Lab is bridging this gap between the academic achievements and the multi-pronged industrial requirements of today.

Redox is the only company in India focusing to impart pharmaceutical manufacturing (both API & Formulations) skill development training and providing placements to the trained youths since 2009. The company aims to retain the numero uno position in the country for exclusive skill development activity in pharma sector and is looking forward to export the skilled people to the pharma dominant countries.

Among many PIAs (Project Implementing Agency) in India who are executing Ajeevika Skills (DDUGKY), Redox Labs is the sole entity executing Himayat in J&K in Pharma Sector with three residential centers with capacity of 700 students per cycle. The company had also earned the stellar reputation in being the first to touch Kargil for skill development followed by other PIAs. Redox has trained over 9,000 students across India and more than 75 percent are successfully placed in pharma industry drawing best salary packages.
